No. 462: Enemy of the Arrows!
The Netherlands' home win over Uruguay should have been hailed by the media, but Van Marwijk was greeted with fierce criticism. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Dutch sports weekly said: Van Marwijk has made drastic changes to Dutch tactics and style since he came to power, but last night his vaunted defense went terribly wrong, and the Dutch fell behind by two goals in the 17th minute of the second half!
De Jong, who he had entrusted with the task, voluntarily applied for a red card two minutes later, leaving the Netherlands in a desperate situation.
Had it not been for Chen's activation, the Netherlands would have suffered a defeat at the Amsterdam Stadium last night.
Victory or defeat can be put aside, but let's talk about Van Marwijk's preparations. Van Marwijk had his players watch bikinis on the beach in The Hague for a week before returning to Amsterdam to train unhurriedly.
Not only that, but he also said the "luck" that is embarrassing.
God, is it a manager's supposed to say that the outcome of a game is down to luck?
If that's the case, let's just find someone who is unlucky enough to be the Dutch manager. Chen's luck has been good, as his team has yet to lose in the games he has played.
According to Van Marwijk, Chen is more suitable to be the manager of the Dutch team than him!
The Telegraph commented: "Three goals in a row, although enough to satisfy the Dutch fans, have to cast doubt on the prospects of the Dutch team.
Why did the Netherlands fall behind by two goals at one point?
Maybe a lot of people are thinking about this after this game.
In his post-match press conference, Van Marwijk said: "The players are not back to their best right now. ”
Admittedly, this is a fact, but what does De Jong's red card say?
Why can't he control his emotions?
Maybe he's expressing his dissatisfaction with the preparation in this way, or maybe he's expressing his dissatisfaction with his teammates in this way.
Van Marwijk's biggest thank you last night was Chen.
If it weren't for Chen's arrival on the pitch and a powerful long-range shot to break through Uruguay's goal, which inspired the fighting spirit of the Dutch team, perhaps last night's game would have been the same scene as in Euro 08 - the Netherlands suffered a heavy defeat!
It is very strange to us that although one of the main purposes of the warm-up game is to test the results of recent tactical training and to hone in the lineup. But with two goals down, why didn't Van Marwijk bring Chan on at the start of the second half?
If Chen had been replaced at the start of the second half, perhaps there would have been no red card for De Jong and the Netherlands would not have played so hard.
Chen immediately launched a quick counter-attack with a long pass, allowing Van Persie to form a one-on-one goal. Although Robin van Persie couldn't get that goal into the Uruguay goal, it showed that Chen's form continued in the Premier League.
Ten minutes later, Chan struck the Uruguayan net with a stunning long-range shot, once again showing that he was in great form.
Robin van Persie's form slowly recovered with Chen's goal, first equalising for the Netherlands with a stoppage shot, and then slotting Chen's cross into the Uruguay goal in stoppage time.
The "Dutch Double" saved the Netherlands, saved Van Marwijk and avoided a home defeat for the Netherlands.
It was a game to be commended, but we want to praise the players on the pitch, not the stubborn Van Marwijk!
With the countdown to the start of the World Cup already in place, Van Marwijk should reflect on himself and get his players back to their best as soon as possible in the time that is running out.
There is no room for mistakes in the World Cup!
……
Van Marwijk didn't expect the media to be so sharply criticised and essentially dismiss his pre-match training plan altogether.
He knew the reason behind this - he had turned his back on Dutch tradition.
The stubborn Dutch boss did not criticize De Jong for the midfielder who made the Netherlands worse last night, because in his mind, a player like De Jong is the midfielder he needs most.
The problem for the Netherlands now is not attack, but defence, and the match against Uruguay illustrates that.
Without a solid defence, without strong defensive players, who will guarantee the back of the Netherlands?
Since he couldn't stay at home, Van Marwijk flew to South Africa two days early with his team, and he had to stay away from the domestic media.
This behavior made the Dutch media even more angry, because the Dutch team's itinerary had already been announced to the public, how could it be said that it would be changed?
When the Dutch team appeared at the airport, reporters who heard the news surrounded Van Marwijk.
"Mr. van Marwijk, can you explain to us why we flew to South Africa two days earlier?"
"Mr. van Marwijk, what explanation do you have for distrusting the majority of Dutch fans?"
Countless sharp questions, like a sharp sword stabbed at the Dutch manager.
Van Marwijk took off his sunglasses, looked at the excited reporters and said in a deep voice: "I need to go to South Africa early to get used to the climate there." ”
"In addition, the domestic environment is no longer suitable for us to continue to stay, which has greatly affected our preparations!"
The crowd of reporters was in an uproar, what is the explanation for this?
It's not so much an explanation as it is a demonstration to them, to fire back at them.
The Dutch coach did not give the reporters a chance to ask questions, and then put on his sunglasses and left the press group.
"What's his attitude?"
"Damn, the blame for the poor form of the Netherlands is placed on us!"
"Oh great, the first reason he found in the Netherlands when he lost was 'we were unlucky.' The second reason is that the domestic media has influenced our preparation plans, so my team is not at its peak yet. ’”
The journalists were completely outraged.
At the end of the day, it's a battle between reformers and conservatives, and that's pre-game syndrome.
With so many talented stars, the Netherlands are undoubtedly one of the favourites to win the World Cup in South Africa, but Dutch journalists are worried about Euro 08 - with a lot of confidence, but with bitterness and disappointment.
In this state of mind, they are bound to find a target to vent their emotions.
Whether it's a week's vacation in The Hague or "luck" says, Van Marwijk has become the target of journalists to vent their emotions.
The Dutch team arrived in South Africa with criticism from the domestic media.
……
At 6 p.m. on June 3, at Johannesburg International Airport in South Africa, a group from the Netherlands stepped off the plane.
The Dutch were dressed in uniform orange suits, and their faces were full of tiredness from a long journey.
Chen Fan was the last to get out of the cabin, and if it wasn't for the flight attendant to wake him up, he might still have continued to sleep on the plane.
When Chen Fan woke up, he found that there was no one in the cabin for a long time, and there were only two beautiful flight attendants left beside him, which made him very embarrassed.
"Damn Robin, I'm going to make you look good!"
Chen Fan unfastened the seat belt on his body and whispered angrily.
The two flight attendants glanced at each other and covered their mouths, with a smile in their eyes.
The blonde-haired stewardess smiled and asked, "Chen, can you tell us who Robin is?" ”
Chen Fan said angrily: "Except for that damn guy from Van Persie, who would call this ridiculous name." Robin, Robin...... Listen, how ridiculous it is. ”
The two flight attendants laughed, and they were not laughing at Van Persie's name, but at Chen Fan's angry appearance.
